Welp… so much for that impressive Buffalo Bills road win over the Minnesota Vikings two weeks ago.

The Bills looked more like what we thought they’d be this season, falling in shutout fashion to the Green Bay Packers in a completely one-sided game dominated by a Packers defense that forced rookie quarterback Josh Allen to toss two interceptions.

Allen was just part of Buffalo’s problem, which had zero luck in the ground game and only mustered 11 first downs during the contest.

At least the Bills defense (somewhat) held Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in check.

So, that’s a bonus.
